Hi Tina,
It was so nice to get a post from you. I know you're going through quite a time yourself; I think you have amazing strength. I also relate to the overwhelm about decision making--I'm going through it myself right now about moving: what am I going to do with the cat, how will I get the money , who can I get to help me, I can't stand asking anyone to help me---and then I just sit here staring at boxes and not doing anything.I wish it was that my landlord thought I was attractive, but he's never seen me! I did however, not let that be known when I was talking to my ex. I told him what the landlord had said about having my boyfriend come and help me with the blinds-- and that I'd said I had no boyfriend. Ok, so it's stupid and high school, but that's about his level so why not.
I'm glad you understand about that looks obsession-- it can really be debilitating. And I think our mothers have a profound effect on the whole thing. I read a great autobiography about one woman's struggle with eating disorders, but I forget the title right now. It was pretty graphic, though and disturbing--not a simple, happy ending. But very real. If you want I'll post it for you later (when I unpack)--but I'd understand if you didn't.
Thanks again, and all the best back to you.
